I was able to get it working by adding in the below code to the android manifest...it then had a location slider in the apps area in settings ...before that it never had the location slider available.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

<uses-feature
   android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le"
   android:required="true"/>

I guess the app on Google play is older and targets older soA, so runtime permissions are not required (compatibility mode). After installing yours from GitHub, go to Android settings, Apps, nRF uart, Permissions and enable location. Then it will work.

This app is fairly old one, now we recommend nRF Blinky as a starting point. This one asks for the location permission on runtime.
